Zaccharias Propheta 2

1 et levavi oculos meos et vidi et ecce vir et in manu eius funiculus mensorum

And I lift up my eyes, and look, and behold, a man, and in his hand a measuring line.

2 et dixi quo tu vadis et dixit ad me ut metiar Hierusalem et videam quanta sit latitudo eius et quanta longitudo eius

And I say, “To where are you going?” And he says to me, “To measure Jerusalem, to see how much [is] its breadth and how much its length.”

3 et ecce angelus qui loquebatur in me egrediebatur et angelus alius egrediebatur in occursum eius

And behold, the messenger who is speaking with me is going out, and another messenger is going out to meet him,

4 et dixit ad eum curre loquere ad puerum istum dicens absque muro habitabitur Hierusalem prae multitudine hominum et iumentorum in medio eius

and he says to him, “Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem is inhabited [as] open places, From the abundance of man and beast in her midst.

5 et ego ero ei ait Dominus murus ignis in circuitu et in gloria ero in medio eius

And I am to her—a declaration of YHWH—A wall of fire all around, And I am for glory in her midst.

6 o o fugite de terra aquilonis dicit Dominus quoniam in quattuor ventos caeli dispersi vos dicit Dominus

Behold, and flee from the land of the north, A declaration of YHWH, For as the four winds of the heavens, I have spread you abroad, A declaration of YHWH.

7 o Sion fuge quae habitas apud filiam Babylonis

Behold, Zion, be delivered who are dwelling [with] the daughter of Babylon.

8 quia haec dicit Dominus exercituum post gloriam misit me ad gentes quae spoliaverunt vos qui enim tetigerit vos tangit pupillam oculi eius

For thus said YHWH of Hosts: He has sent Me after glory to the nations who are spoiling you, For he who is coming against you, Is coming against the pupil of His eye.

9 quia ecce ego levo manum meam super eos et erunt praedae his qui serviebant sibi et cognoscetis quia Dominus exercituum misit me

For behold, I am waving My hand against them, And they have been a spoil to their servants. And you have known that YHWH of Hosts has sent Me.

10 lauda et laetare filia Sion quia ecce ego venio et habitabo in medio tui ait Dominus

Sing, and rejoice, O daughter of Zion, For behold, I am coming, and have dwelt in your midst, A declaration of YHWH.

11 et adplicabuntur gentes multae ad Dominum in die illa et erunt mihi in populum et habitabo in medio tui et scies quia Dominus exercituum misit me ad te

And many nations have been joined to YHWH in that day, And they have been to Me for a people, And I have dwelt in your midst, And you have known that YHWH of Hosts has sent Me to you.

12 et possidebit Dominus Iudam partem suam in terra sanctificata et eliget adhuc Hierusalem

And YHWH has inherited Judah, His portion on the holy ground, And He has fixed again on Jerusalem.

13 sileat omnis caro a facie Domini quia consurrexit de habitaculo sancto suo

Hush, all flesh, because of YHWH, For He has been roused up from His holy habitation!”
